McInnis Park

Good, but they actually do monitor and clean the park. So we were asked to leave after about an hour because they do not allow bmx. Nice.

This park is a well maintained park with so many make amenities such as a skate park, golf, driving range, mini golf, tennis courts, baseball/Softball fields, soccer fields, and many hiking trails that can take you bayside. Please clean up after yourself and leave it better than you found it. ☺️🥰

Great for dog walks, bike rides, tennis, mini golf or even the skate park. Everyone is friendly and the park is well maintained. Boat launch is great for a kayak. Hikes have beautiful views!

General Info: This park has great views of the wetlands if you go up toward the skate park. It is connected to the golf course and said golf course even has a mini-golf course attached to it. There are several garbage cans and recycling cans, a lot of water fountains, and several picnic/bbq grills (currently closed due to COVID). Along with the skate park, there are a couple tennis courts, a baseball field, and a soccer field. Also, there is a stream nearby that I have seen people kayak in. The park rangers do a good job at keeping things in line. But with that said, they do seem to “hover”.

Fee: $0

Hours: Sunrise - Sunset
- Google says that it is open 24 Hours and it is not. Per Marin County ordinance, all parks are open during “daylight hours”

Parking: Free. There are several different lots throughout. Some paved, some are not.

Access: You can access the park by taking the Lucas Valley/Smith Ranch Exit from US-101. Take a right onto Smith Ranch Rd and keep driving straight. Smith Ranch Rd is a dead end, and the park is at the end of the dead end.

Bathrooms: There are bathrooms in the parking lot of the golf course lot. They are not gender neutral, and although there are sinks, there is no running water. Bathrooms close at 7:30 pm. There are also a few porta-potties up by the skate park and soccer field.

Tip: This park is used heavily by the locals in the area, so it is not the most tourist friendly spot. Also, there are so many people who bring their dogs. There are signs posted for the central field that state no dogs on that particular field, but people do not listen. That said, be careful where you lay/step. Also, there is absolutely no shade anywhere.

4/5 stars because there is heavy local traffic inside the park, and the vibes the locals give off are not friendly ones.

Nice public, executive golf course and driving range. Many delightful paths for walks in the adjacent marshlands. Birders paradise.
